FREE Club Sportive

in just 10 days time on
Sunday 15th August.

We'd love to see a big turnout to make it a fun and social day!
3 routes to choose from:
64 mile (100km) route to Wem and back. ENTER
80 mile (130km) route to Shrewsbury and back. ENTER
100 mile (160km) route to Shrewsbury and back ENTER

There will be ride leaders of various speeds for each distance, no-one will be left behind. Post-ride we'll re-group at the Rake and Pikel (in Huntington) for a well deserved social drink. 

Free gels and ID wristbands at the start.

Deva Aquathlon

It was great to see 41 participants enjoying Monday evenings' Aquathlon even though we were only able to give relatively short notice. Well done to everyone, both the regulars and especially those trying it for the first time.
Thanks also to the volunteers for your support and encouragement to all the competitors. Without you we wouldn’t be able to put in the event.
Results are here.  Photos here.

The Snowman Triathlon

The Snowman Triathlon took place last weekend in Capel Curig, deemed the UK's Toughest Triathlon!

Well done to Sean Kennedy, Hannah Owen and Fiona Richardson who completed the sprint, with Sean just missing out on the podium and coming 4th overall.
Well done to Ian Ainscough and Mike Waring for the sprint duathlon, with Mike coming 3rd overall.
Well done to Nigel Smith for completing the standard distance and to Steven Walker for completing the legend distance! 

So how was it? A change in bike course a couple of weeks before for some, was a psychological tease, with many people at the start line questioning their gearing/bike choice. The run down Moel Siabod caused plenty of scrapes and bruises, and had some of us wondering "why have I paid for this?!".
All of that being said, I'd go back to Llynau Mymbyr for an adventure any day. 

You can find the results here.
